Yes, I ate this for breakfast. I had to go for a long walk afterwards. It was glorious. Of course I really made it for the girls - you know, to give them a good start to the day - get them off on the right foot - they liked it a lot. I went overboard but why not - don't you need something to get you started on Monday morning?
Adjust amounts to appetite and mouths;
Muffins
Bacon
Eggs
Baby spinach
Tomatoes
Grated cheese
These are actually quick to make, much quicker (and better) than jumping in the car to go to the MacDonald's drive through. There's no real recipe just;
Put on the bacon,
While that's sizzling, poach the eggs in a pan of water with a splash of white vinegar. When they're how you like them, remove them with a slotted spoon and leave to drain for a minute or two.
Put your muffin in the toaster.
When the bacon's done, chop it up, then throw in a couple of handfuls of baby spinach and a few slices of tomato into the hot bacon fat (yum) and heat through.
Grate some of your favorite cheese.
Assemble your muffin.
Serve with some serious coffee and start the week in the right frame of mind.
Here's where I walked the dog, beautiful isn't it!


This breakfast sandwich looks divine! My fiance and I make sandwiches like this on the weekends sometimes if we're able to have a lazy weekend morning. :) So delicious and comforting!
ReplyDeleteMary - your breakfast and your walk look just beautiful, I'm not sure which is prettier!

You definitely have McDonalds beat with this one! Love the fresh tomato and spinach, it makes all the difference in the appearance as well as taste. Not to mention more nutrition-great post!

fabulous! and the walk sounds lovely too! I make a version of these for the boys sometimes. they love them!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a gorgeous place where you walked the dog. OK, a McDonald's Egg McMuffin is my ONLY guilty pleasure at the Golden Arches...on rare occasion. But this sandwich looks much better, colorful and flavorful. Beautiful sandwich.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and peaceful place to walk. My daughter would love this for breakfast. I make her 2 fried egg whites every weekday but I am to lazy to cook up bacon during the week. I save bacon for the weekends ;)
ReplyDeleteDid your girls walk to the school too? Hehe, after such a scrumptious breakfast ;)
ReplyDeleteYou've added some healthy touches to your sandwich with the tomatoes and spinach. I'm thinking this would be a perfect Sunday brunch, with a lovely long walk after.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious way to start the day!

ReplyDeletei think i can have these for breakfast 5 days a week, no problemos!!
ReplyDeleteYou have assembled some of my favorite foods in that yummy breakfast sandwich, Mary. I just may have to fix this for my lunch today. I'll be thinking about it until I give in and make it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely breakfast! Looks delicious and I would not mind having this again for lunch as well! Hope you had a good and enjoyable walk!
ReplyDeleteI MUCH prefer YOUR Egg McMufffin to MacDonalds Mary! MUCH better and I could devour that in a heartbeat!
